Iraq’s Kurdistan region to hold elections on November 18.

Elections are scheduled to take place on November 18 in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, according to the government spokesman.

Reportedly, the regional government spokesman announced the date of the elections on Sunday. Iraqi Kurdistan President Nechirvan Barzani also issued a decree to give approval to the date of the elections.

While attending the news conference, KRG spokesman Dilshad Shahab said that the Iraqi Kurdistan President gave approval for the election’s date. The elections will take place to elect a parliament and a president for Kurdish regions in Iraq.

Iraq’s Kurdistan region gained self-rule in 1991 when a U.S.-led coalition forced Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army to withdraw from them. Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003. The removal of Saddam helped Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

Recently, Iraq won a legal case against Turkey over Kurdish oil exports. Iraq and Turkey have been locked in a nine-year dispute over oil exports from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), which goes from the Kurdish region to the port of Ceyhan in Turkey.

Iraq considers KRG exports via the Turkish Ceyhan port as illegal. The International Chamber of Commerce, the largest and most representative business organization, ruled in favour of Iraq. Turkey said it respected the recent ruling. Turkey will have to pay Iraq around $1.5 billion.

This year, Iraq stationed an additional 6,000 troops along its Iranian and Turkish borders. Iraq also signed a border agreement with Saudi Arabia to enhance border security.

Iraq exports an average of 3.3 million barrels daily. It is one of the largest oil producers within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). It is also a key source of revenue for the government. OPEC is an organization for the cooperation of leading oil-producing countries. It also influences the global market.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
